First Place in Veteran - Dog, Judge: Mandy Holmes (Bimandi)
Many Thanks to WELKS for asking me to judge at their show, it was an honour, also thank you so much to everyone that entered under me, I had some great dogs to go over. Congratulation to all my winners. Thanks also go to my very competent stewards for keeping my ring running smoothly.
All the males were entire. Apart from 3 level bites all mouths were correct and teeth of good size. Temperaments were all sound except one or two that really didn’t like being in the noisy hall and were a little bit subdued. It’s hard to judge true movement on a slippery concrete floor and in some classes the placings could have changed if we had been outside on grass.
8 3/4yrs, good overall balance. Broad skull with keen eye, firm topline with well set tail carried well on the move. Ribs well back making him easy to span. Straight in front. Harsh coat, loose pelt. Moved with drive. Pleased to award him Best Veteran.
